Welcome.
This journal began as a way to make sense of my world when everything felt overwhelming. It was written during my time in a psych ward, a place that was both frightening and strangely transformative. Here, I confronted fear, confusion, and the small, quiet victories that often go unnoticed by anyone outside those walls.
These pages are my attempt to capture what it's really like to live inside a mind that is fragile but still stubbornly alive. They are not polished, nor are they complete—they are raw, honest, and sometimes messy. But they are real.
I share this journal not to shock, entertain, or explain everything about mental illness. I share it to offer a window into experiences that are often invisible, to show that even in the darkest places, moments of clarity, resilience, and hope exist.
If you read these words, I hope they give you understanding, connection, or comfort—whether you're walking through similar struggles, supporting someone who is, or simply seeking a glimpse into a life you might never otherwise see.
